Many biblical verses are like inkblot tests, revealing more about us than about the text in question.
Harold S. KushnerWe don't have to be afraid of dying because it's not really death that scares us. We are afraid of not having lived.
Harold S. KushnerOur society puts too much emphasis on finding someone who will love you; our culture focuses too much on being loved and not enough on being a loving person.
Harold S. KushnerOur souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth, or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it.
